Glossary

A Social Network (SN):

is a set of social relationships between actors, where actors represent individuals, groups of individuals, or larger organizations. A social network can also contain nonrelational information, such as data about the individuals.

A Social Network Site (SNS):

is a Web 2.0 site where users can create user profiles and interact with other users, for example sharing messages.

An Online Social Network (OSN):

contains information collected from a SNS or from other online services about online interactions.

Definition

Multiple Social Network Analysis is a discipline defining models, measures, methodologies, and algorithms to study multiple social networks together as a single social system. It is particularly valuable when the networks are interconnected, e.g., the same actors are present in more than one network.
